The Historic Landscape of Caroline County

We identified historically segregated white schools in the Choptank River Heritage area, primarily by georeferencing the 1875 Isler and 1897 Saulsbury maps of Caroline County.

In the map shown on this page, use the toggle at the upper left to turn on/off background layers for 1850-1900 maps of Caroline and surrounding counties.

Use the grid icon to change the modern basemap from topographic to satellite imagery, roads and streets, or others.

Below the map are lists of segregated white schools which appear in the historic landscape.

See the larger map of Segregated White Schools in the Historic Landscape of Caroline County, Maryland with historical and imagery basemaps.
